As for the iPod nano, you want a case for your shiny, tiny player, but you don’t want to do bulk up its slim profile. AVA’s Smooth E has got you—and your nano—covered. This unique skin case is actually rigid: it’s a two-piece, hardshell case made of ABS plastic coated with a liquid polymer finish that feels unbelievably smooth. Inside, your nano reposes in felt-lined splendor, protected from the bumps and jostles of everyday life. The bottom of the case is open to let you plug in your headphones and sync the iPod, and a hard piece of clear plastic is integrated in the case’s cover to protect your nano’s vulnerable display. But the best innovation of the Smooth E is the case’s built-in Hold switch; it lines up with the nano’s own Hold switch and makes flicking it on and off a breeze. In fact, slipping your nano into the Smooth E might make it hard to tell which is getting more attention: the iPod or its case.—DM

it’s a compelling combination of sound quality, iPod compatibility, and looks.… Combine an iPod full of music with the i300 and you’ve got a system capable of outperforming many of the stereos you’ll find at the big electronic chain stores, while taking up a fraction of the space in your listening room.”
he result is “a sub-sat system that provides home-stereo-quality sound, while being small enough to hide in most rooms…

- Monitor Audio’s i-deck impressed us with its excellent detail, midrange, and—thanks to separate speakers that can be placed up to 6 feet apart—stereo imaging and separation. In fact, we found it to be one of the most balanced and natural-sounding iPod speaker systems on the market, and noted that “few systems… even approach the i-deck in terms of sound quality for the money.”
- JBL’s Radial proved to be in a class of its own, thanks to beautiful design and remarkably good sound quality—easily the best we’ve heard from a one-piece system. The Radial also includes a radio-frequency (RF) remote control with the fairly unique ability to navigate your iPod’s menus from afar.

- Best Canalbuds: CX300 ($80 (Best Current Price: $49.99); Sennheiser)
  
  Halfway between earbuds and in-ear-canal (“canalphone”) headphones sit what we call canalbuds. Instead of sealing firmly inside your ear canals using foam or flanged-rubber eartips, like true canalphones, canalbuds have small rubber eartips that sit at the ends of your ear canals—they don’t fully seal out external noise, but they’re easier to put in and take out and they’re more comfortable for many listeners than full-fledged in-ear-canal models. This category has long been dominated by Sony’s EX series, but Sennheiser’s new CX300—the company’s first attempt at canalbuds, no less—handily beats Sony’s offerings in the sound department while also being lightweight (just four grams) and comfortable. And with a street price of around $55, the CX300 is priced competitively.—DF
- Best Earbuds: Remix M-Class ($50 (Best Current Price: $26.25); V-Moda)

  We’re generally not big fans of earbuds here at Playlist. Like Apple’s included headphones, most earbuds—thanks to their small size and loose fit in your outer ear—provide poor bass and mediocre overall sound. In fact, the genre has been so bad, relative to other headphone styles, that we’ve been recommending variations on the same Sennheiser earbuds for several years. (Not to mention that, as earbuds go, Apple’s stock models that ship with each iPod aren’t that bad.) But this year we have a new favorite: V-Moda’s Remix M-Class. At $50, they’re more expensive than most earbuds, but well worth it considering their excellent sound quality (good bass response, excellent detail, and a warm overall sound); quality build (each earbud, as well as the headphone plug enclosure and Y-connector on the cables, is made of polished metal alloy); and attractive design (available in metallic blue, metallic pink, or silver). And they’re comfortable to boot.—DAN FRAKES

“I don’t get it,” wrote one. “A ten-megapixel camera produces photos about 3640 pixels wide–enough to make a 12-inch print at 300 dpi (dots per inch) on a good printer. Sure, you can go lower, but quality is sacrificed; you can’t make an 11×14 print, let alone anything bigger.”

I have to say, the math sounds right. But I also have to say that he’s wrong.
This post is going to get a lot of people riled up, I know, because in THEORY, you should be able to see a difference. But you can’t.

And I’m hoping this little test can save you some bucks the next time you’re shopping for a camera.

- About 95 percent of the volunteers gave up, announcing that there was no possible way to tell the difference, even when mashing their faces right up against the prints.
- I’m telling you, there was NO DIFFERENCE.
- We blew up a photograph to 16 x 24 inches at a professional photo lab. One print had 13-megapixel resolution; one had 8; the third had 5. Same exact photo, down-rezzed twice, all three printed at the same poster size. I wanted to hang them all on a wall in Times Square and challenge passersby to see if they could tell the difference.

Friend has developed a rigorous certification process, which not only assures that Anusara teachers have mastered a wide body of knowledge and skills but enables them to improvise thereafter. Teachers who are interested in applying must first demonstrate that they have practiced yoga for at least four years, taught for one year, studied for two years with an affiliated Anusara teacher and 250 hours with a certified Anusara teacher (including 100 hours with John Friend), and taken a one-week teacher training course. To be certified, they have to pass a lengthy written exam and have a video of their teaching and asana practice approved by Friend and another teacher. Five years ago, there were only 15 to 20 certified teachers, and now there are still only 100.

- Instead of trying to control the body and mind from the outside, the poses originate from a deep creative and devotional feeling inside.
